What did you have to change for 2S? Could I get a copy?
From what I recall, it didn’t have code to handle voltage measurements on 2S, or at least the comments suggested that it might not work (and I didn’t try it).
Thank you for posting this Richard. I saw it and was able to make an order later that night for a green Nichia version. It was shipped the next day and received yesterday, so I had time to mess around with it over the weekend. Thanks again for such prompt and thorough service!
I honestly didn’t get all the hype behind this thing. I understand now…
Enable volt_mon_pin7 option, add tk-calibWight.h header, define 360K option, change ramping level tables, fix a few other broken references in the code. It's not clean enough for you to see it yet, but it is working. Let me get to cleaning it up, then I will share it.
The 20mm should have some. The 17m FET driver is only 1.6mm, and it is an option for the 20mm FET+7135. 17mm, I am not planning on any, at least not for a while.
Efficiency, a difficult assessment as well as tough to maintain.
Richard trys so hard though! Like, I ordered 4 emitters that weren’t available bare, on 16mm Noctigons. I also ordered some quad boards. Richard saw a need and pulled the emitters from the Noctigons then re-flowed them to the quad board. Efficient! And then adjusted the price I paid, efficiency again!
Only problem with the efficiency is that I needed the 4 16mm Noctigons. lol I’ve got well over 100 of the 20mm SinkPAD’s, but somehow I can hardly ever find a 16mm MCPCB in my kit. Oh well, I’ll have to order some I guess, one day, if I can remember to.
I didn’t say this to gripe about anything, but if you, like me, actually want the boards your emitters are on for a different project it might be wise to clarify that in the notes so Richard knows.
Heck, if I’m not careful he’ll have my light half built for me before I can fire up my soldering iron!
Sorry Dale! I had already reflowed them to see if they would handle direct drive, and assumed that you already probably had a million 16mms laying around.... DOH! I do appreciate your patience.
